Well I would say its good if I want the value of F-Bodys to rise, which I do. But I think he might be 2k to high to right on the money. Remember it is an 02 which is the last year, 15k on the meter is only 3k per summer/year if it was only a summer driven car. I would try to negociate it. At 22 I dont think you should think its too high. But this is just my opinion.

15k is low miles!

I'd say $20k would be a fair price.

Is the car in Chicago? You'll always pay a little more for a car local to the salt belt that hasn't ever seen winter. It's hard to find cars around here like that. If you want cheaper prices, you'll need to travel south and/or west.

I would go 20 or under. but 20 tops. You can find simiar car for under 15, with just a bit more mileage.

I paid 23k for 11k miles 02 WS6 and it was imacculant. In my opinion, 1 year less and the money he wants is a little much. Flash a cashiers check for 19k infront of him and im sure he will go for it.
